Key Questions in CONGENITAL CARDIAC SURGERY
4 What are the key views for obtaining
echocardiographic images in congenital
transthoracic echocardiography?
Abdominal views, including:
•
a) short-axis situs view (Figure 3A);
b) long-axis of the abdominal aorta (Figure 3B);

5 When is three-dimensional imaging commonly used?
Modern machines may use specialised probes to obtain 3D
•
echocardiographic images and specific computer software to
process the image after acquisition.
3D echocardiographic images are commonly used to demonstrate
•
cardiac morphology, heart valves, septal structures or complex
lesions, in order to aid interventional or surgical planning.
3D echocardiographic assessment of cardiac function can be
•
helpful, but challenging for dilated ventricles or functionally single
ventricles, and functional analysis should be interpreted with caution
in patients with abnormal anatomy.
Live 3D echo is particularly helpful to guide interventions, such as
•
device closure of septal defects.
6 What is the Z-score?
The Z-score is the number of standard deviations (SD) of a
•
measurement from the mean.
A measurement 2 SD above the mean will have a Z-score of +2
•
(97.7th percentile), whereas a Z-score of -2 indicates the
measurement is 2 SD below the mean (2.3rd percentile).

4 Congenital echocardiography

Measurements of all cardiac structures can be undertaken with
•
subsequent application of Z-scores relative to the patient’s body
surface area.
7 What are the characteristics of an atrial septal defect
on echocardiography?
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) — which can usually be best seen as a
•
small communication in the central portion of the atrial septum on the
subcostal view (Figure 8). They are usually <4mm in size. In usual
situs solitus, blood flow from the left atrium to the right is red on
colour Doppler, whilst blood flow in the opposite direction from the
right to left atrium appears blue on TTE (colours are reversed on
TOE). In adults, a PFO may be difficult to see on TTE and a bubble
contrast echocardiogram may be required for detection.

(PFO, red arrow); and B) left-to right blood flow on the corresponding

ventricle; LV = left ventricle.
Secundum ASD — which can be seen as a communication in the
•
central portion of the atrial septum on the subcostal view (Figure 9).
In large defects, the rims of the defect should be ascertained utilising
multiple views to assess suitability for transcatheter device closure.
Primum ASD — which can be seen as a defect at the junction of the
•
primum atrial septum and atrioventricular valves on the subcostal and
apical views (Figure 10). An absence of the usual offsetting of the
tricuspid and mitral valves is noted, as instead of the tricuspid valve septal
attachment normally being slightly lower than the mitral valve, in primum
ASD, the right and left atrioventricular valves are at the same level.

Coronary sinus defect — which can be seen as a defect secondary
•
to unroofing of coronary sinus tissue on the subcostal view.
Right atrial and right ventricular dilatation associated with secondary
•
volume overload may also be seen and are best assessed from the
apical four-chamber view. This view, however, is inadequate to
assess the ASD size, as the ultrasound beam is perpendicular to the
defect causing dropout of the image that may lead to an overestimation of size.
The rims of the ASD are determined on multiple views, including:
•
a) subcostal four-chamber view — to assess the rim towards the
SVC junction and towards the atrioventricular valves;
b) subcostal short-axis view — to assess the SVC and IVC
junctions with the RA;
c) parasternal short-axis view — to assess the anterior-posterior
relationship from the aortic root and especially the adequacy of
the aortic rim;
d) high right parasternal view — to assess a sinus venosus
defect, with the probe in the superior-inferior orientation.

8 What are the principles of assessing a patent ductus
arteriosus on echocardiography?
Echocardiographic assessment is best obtained from the
•
suprasternal notch and left subclavicular views.
It should include demonstration of the haemodynamic features that
•
would influence whether the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is
haemodynamically significant, and the important details to plan
successful surgical intervention, including the:
a) course and size of the PDA (Figure 11);
b) velocity and direction of the shunt, utilising both Doppler
assessment of blood flow and colour flow Doppler;
c) estimation of the pulmonary artery pressure, using the peak
systolic velocity; also measuring simultaneous non-invasive
systolic blood pressure at the time of the echocardiographic
measurement;
d) left atrial and ventricular size (which will be dilated in the
presence of a significant PDA), and left ventricular function;
e) arch-sidedness and branching pattern of the head and neck
vessels;
f) presence of coarctation or hypoplasia;
g) presence of branch pulmonary artery stenosis.

9 What are the principles of assessing a ventricular
septal defect on echocardiography?
Echocardiography is used to determine the position, borders, size
•
and number of ventricular septal defects (VSDs).
Perimembranous VSDs (Figure 12) are best assessed in the short-
•
axis view where the fibrous continuity is noted between the aortic and
tricuspid valves. It is important to delineate any muscular extension
and the margins of the VSD, which can be achieved by sweeps of
the septum in the parasternal and apical views. The subcostal views
may be useful in neonates and infants. Evidence of aortic valve
incompetence should also be ascertained.
Muscular VSDs (Figure 13) are best assessed by a short-axis sweep
•
of the ventricular septum and a posterior to anterior sweep of the

septum in the apical view. The whole septum should be assessed
with a low Nyquist limit (colour scale). These VSDs may be small,
large or multiple throughout the ventricular septum.
Doubly-committed subarterial VSD (Figure 14) is best assessed in
•
the subcostal short-axis view, where a fibrous continuity between the
aortic and pulmonary valves can be seen. Evidence of aortic or
pulmonary valve incompetence should also be ascertained.
When echocardiography is performed on a patient with a VSD, there
•
are a number of features that should be assessed, including the:
137
a) whole interventricular septum, to ensure that all defects are
identified, as this will influence the operative approach;

b) degree of ventricular volume overload and function;
c) septal attachment of the tricuspid valve and evidence of valve
straddling;
d) aortic valve for evidence of regurgitation;
e) right ventricular outflow tract muscle bundles.
Postoperatively, following VSD repair, it is important to assess the:
•
a) repair and identify any evidence of patch leak;
b) left ventricular function;
c) tricuspid valve function and identify regurgitation;
d) Doppler gradient across the pulmonary artery, if the patient has
undergone banding.
10 What are the principles of assessing aortic valve
disease on echocardiography?
The best views to assess obstruction of the left ventricular outflow
•
tract include the:
139
a) parasternal long-axis (Figure 15) — which can determine the
length of the outflow tract, the presence of any muscular tissue
or membrane at subaortic and supra-aortic levels, as well as
motion and thickness of the aortic valve leaflets, including cusp
prolapse and lack of coaptation. Colour flow Doppler in this
view may identify the presence of aortic valve regurgitation;
b) parasternal short-axis — which can determine the number of
aortic valve cusps and any abnormalities in functionality of the
valve, including the presence of a raphe. Colour flow Doppler
in this view may identify areas of regurgitation secondary to
poor coaptation of the valve leaflets. The short-axis view at the
level of the ventricle can also show any associated left
ventricular hypertrophy (Figure 16);
c) apical five-chamber and subcostal short-axis — which can
determine the length of the left ventricular outflow tract. Colour
flow Doppler in this view is particularly useful in showing areas
of turbulent flow and regurgitation, as it provides an
appropriate angulation for Doppler interrogation of the area.
Pulsed wave and continuous Doppler (Figure 17) can also be used
•
to estimate the severity of stenosis. By aligning the left ventricular
outflow tract with the cursor and utilising Doppler, the peak velocity
can be measured and the peak and mean pressure gradients can be
